The first video on the homepage of Puzhan features a dazzling young girl on the cover, boldly titled "Desert Butcher, Number One in the National Service."
Without a second thought, this is undoubtedly the edited replay of Gao Naiyun's live stream from yesterday.
In just a few hours since its release, the video has already reached a staggering 700,000 views, with over a thousand comments and a whopping 20,000 collections!
"Brothers, at 2:49, he pulls out the lamb's waist. Go check it out!"
"I heard the reason this goat died is because it accidentally touched the anchor and then died."
"While other girls carry lipsticks, foundations, eyeliners... the desert butcher's bag only has a knife for slaughtering sheep in eight minutes."
"Does anyone know where this girl is livestreaming?"
"The signature says it's on the Shark platform."
Yang Ruoqian looks at the lively discussions in the comments section, almost losing his breath: "I forgot about this! Someone will definitely repost the video!"
Reposts may not bring in as much profit as original content, but as long as it's trending, it can generate a significant amount of traffic. How could those sharp-eyed "creators" miss this opportunity?
Big mistake!
He went live yesterday afternoon, and today there are already people trying to ride the popularity wave!
This is so frustrating!
Those who ride on the coattails of others really deserve to die!
As long as the popularity is up, even if the person involved does nothing, there's a crowd of people trying to capitalize on it!
A day has passed, and Gao Naiyun's sheep slaughtering video not only hasn't decreased in popularity but is showing an upward trend!
"Who is this reposting user?" Yang Ruoqian, infuriated, opens the video and goes to the publisher's homepage. "Let me see who's planting themselves, idly staring at various popularities and making a mess."
Then, Yang Ruoqian sees the publisher's ID, "Cloud Milk Wolf," with a signature that only has one line—Shark platform anchor "Cloud Milk" official account.
Only, official, account!?
Wait, what's going on?
Who gave you the right to claim you're the official account?!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Just as Yang Ruoqian is raging, the door is suddenly knocked on, and Chang Zhiqing's excited voice pierces through the thick anti-theft door and wooden door:
"Yang Ruoqian, wake up, open up! Great news, enormous news!"
Good news? What news could make Chang Zhiqing so excited?
Yang Ruoqian knows this girl is reliable; she doesn't talk nonsense. If she says it's good news, then it must be good news. So, he puts on his robe, gets out of bed, and walks towards the door to open it for the girl.
"What good news is it?"
Chang Zhiqing skillfully enters the room, glances up and down at the drowsy Yang Ruoqian, and makes a clicking sound with her mouth.
"Boss, you don't exercise all day, but your figure is still pretty good?"
Yang Ruoqian can't be bothered with this nonsense and straightforwardly asks, "What's the good news? After you tell me, we need to deal with someone impersonating Gao Naiyun."
Chang Zhiqing, who had just sat down on the sofa, suddenly jumped up, both surprised and angry. "Who's the shameless one daring to impersonate? I registered the account last night, uploaded the video first thing, and even explicitly stated in the signature that it's the only official account!"
"Exactly, too shameless... wait, what did you say?"
Yang Ruoqian subconsciously agreed with a sentence, but a few seconds later, he suddenly realized something was off and widened his eyes.
Chang Zhiqing, holding her fist, arrogantly huffed, "I predicted that someone would come to ride this popularity, so I registered accounts on various social platforms in advance, uploaded the video first. Riding on my own popularity, so others have no popularity to ride. How about that, boss? Am I amazing?"
This is the result of her staying up late for the past few days, diligently studying.
This is the surprise she mysteriously mentioned to Yang Ruoqian yesterday.
Regardless of how to sustain the popularity later, at least during this peak period, they must not let others take away the traffic.
How many original creators have witnessed their works gain popularity through the reposting of other platforms' creators, resulting in the original author being less popular than the reposters.
Yang Ruoqian struggled to digest Chang Zhiqing's words, slowly asking, "On Puzhan, that user called 'Cloud Milk Wolf,' did you register it for Gao Naiyun?"
"Huh?" Chang Zhiqing's big eyes flashed with confusion. "How did you know?"
Yang Ruoqian lowered his head, looking at the ID with nearly 60,000 fans, suddenly feeling a sense of helplessness and tears.
Is there something wrong with this world?
In his past life, he wanted to earn money, had a group of capable people, and almost lost his pants.
In this life, he wanted to find a group of like-minded people to fleece the system together, but each of them turned out to be quite skilled, and in just a few days, a somewhat famous internet celebrity emerged.
Chang Zhiqing, looking at Yang Ruoqian's speechless appearance, felt even more triumphant— even the boss, such a capable person, was shocked by her success, indicating that her strategy was absolutely successful!
"Boss? Landlord? Yang Ruoqian?" Chang Zhiqing shook Yang Ruoqian's arm vigorously, expressing her joy. "I know you've invested a lot of effort into the company, and the early stages weren't smooth. The sudden turn of fortune must have quite an impact on you."
"We did it!"
Yang Ruoqian was pulled to the point of staggering, not knowing how to respond.
Turn of fortune?
So happy that he couldn't speak?
I almost fainted from a sudden surge in blood pressure.
"Yes, I'm just too happy. I need to calm down a bit." Yang Ruoqian stared with lifeless fish eyes, expressing with little enthusiasm.
After Chang Zhiqing's operation, she indeed made Yang Ruoqian's scalp numb.
Little Puzhan, Shark Live, Douyin... and the data from various other major platforms combined, Gao Naiyun's real fan count is definitely not limited to 100,000.
Ignoring the incessant chatter on the side from Chang Zhiqing seeking praise and rewards, Yang Ruoqian, full of despair, opened the system panel.
It shows that Gao Naiyun's real fan count has now reached 102,000.
In other words, the bonus issued by the system is about to drop to the "Newcomer" level.
The company account and personal account will each receive a reward of 50,000, totaling 100,000.
What's the concept of 100,000?
Paying off the monthly bank loan with both principal and interest, there might be some money left for meals.
The only good news is that although the system's unconditional monthly limit of 200,000 cannot be used to repay loans, the rookie bonus and company profits are not subject to this restriction.
Most business loans are divided into two types: equal principal and interest, and interest-first repayment.
The former has a higher monthly repayment pressure, but the advantage is that with continuous repayment, the owed principal decreases each month, resulting in lower interest later on.
Yang Ruoqian chose this repayment method.
Well, as a high-ranking executive with a monthly income of 20,000 and another internet celebrity with a guaranteed minimum of 8,000, after working hard for a week, he ended up with just enough money for meals?
What kind of magical company is this?
